The opening of the new Shanghai office is IAAPA's first Mainland China Representative Office, and its second office in the Asia-Pacific region.
Explaining the opening, IAAPA President and Chief Executive Paul Noland stated "China has been experiencing tremendous growth in the attractions industry and we are excited to open a regional office in Shanghai.
“This will allow us to further support our local participants and connect them with our global participants
"Our goal is to continue to provide exceptional levels of service in China, while remaining committed to the success of the region's thriving attractions industry.”
Located in the Puxi, the historic centre of Shanghai, the office will support the attractions industry in the Asia-Pacific region through education and professional development, information dissemination, research, education, advocacy, and networking events.
The Shanghai office becomes IAAPA's fifth regional office to service the attractions industry around the world, joining the existing operations for Asia-Pacific in Hong Kong, for Europe (in Brussels, Belgium), Latin America (in Mexico City, Mexico), and North America (in Orlando, Florida, USA).
